Sorry for the missed post last week, but I was having a wonderful time attending a cousin's wedding. Here we go for this week!

With society's many views on what 'should' or 'should not' happen in the home, I'm curious about what you all think about the roles people develop in their family. Are their peacemakers? "War mongers"? What about the role of your Mom and Dad? Which works outside the home, if not both? How do you think things got this way? This last question about how things developed the way that they did in your family is really the meat of what I'm trying to get at this week.

About Me

Considering this blog is all about amplifying what's important to me, I hope you learn about who I am from reading my posts. As a summary, I am a single, 26-year-old college graduate living with my parents because chronic illness has prohibited consistent full-time work. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon), so when I talk about spiritual things, that is the framework from which I write, although I hope people of all spiritual beliefs will find something to think about in the things I write. I generally believe the world to be a good place, but I struggle with finding my happy place in it. That is part of the impetus for this blog. I hope I make some progress! I also love music (almost all genres), definitely enjoy eating (something that I'm sure will become the topic of an entry sometime), and like long walks on the beach at sunset. No really, I like long walks on the beach at sunset. :D
